    The Texas accent in Austin died out after the Baby Boomers, unless you live in south Austin. As a kid in 1970’s and 1980’s NW Austin suburbs, most of us talked like nothing or from Southern California. Richard Linklatter has always been very realistic of his portrayal of younger folks in the Austin area.

    I hate to disagree but... I have always used yonder as directional and not distance. "How do I get to El Paso?" "Oh it's over yonder, 'bout a thousand miles." Also, Bless Your Heart (or Bless Your Little Heart) is sometimes an expression of care and concern, depending on who you are talking to and what you are talking about. Typically (but not always) if they go higher in pitch to an upper register when they say it then the meaning is concern, where as going deeper in pitch to a lower register is a sign of sarcasm.

    Bless your heart is not always an insult.
    For example it can be used endearingly toward small children you think are adorable, eg: " oh look at them, aren't they adorable! Bless their little hearts."
    Generally something that a grandmother might say.
    A mother might say this to her child who she lost lost track of for a long time to express relief and joy when the child finally reappears.
    I think that it is generally seen as an insult when directed towards adults in the proper context because of this patronizing. element.

      Borderline stereotype, like it’s true but the “rules” are more fluid and based on context.

    Just for your information not all Texan’s have a southern accent, own several firearms, drive a pickup truck, walk around with a cowboy hat and chew tobacco. There are lots of Texans who live in the larger cities who are nothing like this.
